Your idle stabilizer valve is either clogged or broken.  I can't remember
where it's located on an 8V - facing the motor, it's to the right of the
engine, I think - it's about 6 inches long, 2 inches in diamter with 2 large
hoses entering and exiting along with an electrical fitting.  Remove it and
clean the insides with carb or brake cleaner to free-up the mechanism.  

If that doesn't work, it's time to spend $200 @ the dealer.
